Food was good, as was service. What wasn't so good was being rhe last boat to return to dock hours after the fireworks and scrambling to find a way back to our hotel at 130am
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience - it was fantastic. What a way to enjoy the Fête Nationale! Whilst hundreds line la Seine for hours, you’ll enjoy a delicious dinner dinner, all the sights, excellent informed and fun service - thanks Jamil - and a prime spot for the fireworks and drone show. It was an exceptional experience and one of a lifetime for us, our joint birthday! Thanks team!
Amazing ambience, food, service, safety, scenery and best of all the fireworks that are a must see lifetime experience. Forget everything you thought you knew about fireworks!!!
Beautiful view! Friendly staff! 5-course dinner no! Three and so. Live music like this. A polite singer but few songs along the way
Amazing tour of Paris' beautiful attractions. Amazing food and service. Amazing live singing. Would highly recommend for a romantic data or a nice fancy family dinner! Boat moved slowly and was very stable. The only caveat, tables were a tiny bit cramped.
Amazing first class service for us as a couple with our 9yr old daughter thank you to all the crew for making it so special xx
What a terrible company. Our boat broke down, and caught on fire, 10 minutes into the cruise. We sat and ate dinner in darkness for almost 3 hours. They eventually sent a rescue boat to take us back to our port. No apologies. No refund. No communications after emailing them. I will say the crew/staff were very nice and did the best they could being stuck working for a terrible company. My advice, find a different cruise, there are a lot of better options. Any company that will let you sink to the bottom of the Seine with a smile on their face and your money in their pockets is not one I would recommend trusting.

The trip down the Seine was glorious as was the female singer and the service. We enjoyed the dinner and met interesting people. But if you chose to go on Bastille day be sure to arrive by 7 or the police will shut down the roads and you will be lucky to get to the boat. So nerve racking and running in heels is ugly.
Cruise 14 July with Box- Poor box quality well below the mediocre threshold. Welcoming staff imbus (the person in the suit and tie turns his back on you when you seek information from him, because the organization is incomprehensible). Doubtful organization, relaying false information. Far too much waiting from start to finish in a static boat (45 minutes cruise of the 2 hours announced) in a boat little or not at all maintained (spiders in the corners, dust piles). DON'T BE FOOLED.
We were able to board after 1h30 of galley..the police refusing us access!permanent telephone contact with the staff... fortunately ...we were a small group...we were sent a taxi boat to pick us up on the swan dock and we were able to board at last!! BECAUSE IT WAS THEN ONLY FUN.Superb cruise..everything was great.from fun mouth to dessert..1 impeccable Service, well organized, good wines..mineral water, coffee and 2 glasses of Champagne as an aperitif and dessert. We admired the fireworks in the front row. I highly recommend!
Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous ayez passé un agréable moment en notre compagnie.
